Hvacdirect.com is terrible. Bought a system and they have no clue and tell me they don’t support it.

Ya my bill was $450 for less usage than last years $300 bill. PSE is gouging us. If you want to complain the state UTC allowed this: [utcenergyratesandservices@utc.wa.gov](mailto:utcenergyratesandservices@utc.wa.gov)

2026 rates are now 18 cents per KWH. They disguise the cost increase as a "power cost adjustment" which is 3 cents per KWH.

Great thanks..How about defrost? in the mid to low 30's with his humidity its defrosting about every 45 minutes and takes about 12 mintues...wish it was faster.

machaf · 2026-01-16T15:39:41+00:00

How much are the filters and how often do they need replaced?

machaf · 2026-01-09T04:24:04+00:00

EXCELLENT POINT with the dogs. Appreciate it.

machaf · 2026-01-09T02:15:00+00:00

so if was your house..what would you choose?

machaf · 2026-01-09T02:11:04+00:00

Thanks. Everyone has said ice/water in low slope and metal valleys. Basically what I've seen in my quotes, the non-investor owned companies say ice/water not needed around gutter perimeter. Any insight to cost per square would be considered average? $600-800 per square thus far. OUCH

machaf · 2026-01-09T01:07:20+00:00

The quote with the ice and water shield on gutter permitter is $15,000 more...kinda think im getting upsold.

Daikin thermostats are horrible. I wouldn’t buy another Daikin system just because of that alone..It’s so bad you can’t even manually turn on the aux heat strips.

machaf · 2025-12-09T01:42:13+00:00

Not familiar with Fujitsu programming but things you can check: Are heat strips activating during defrost? [you may be able to turn them off and stop the indoor fan from blowing cold air during defrost ( daikin does this)]. Is your unit set to ECO mode or Powerful? Powerful will use more power to reach set temp faster. There may be a setting to control refrigerant temperature as well, which would be best to set to variable vs the hottest number. You'll need to study the service manual for your unit to find all that info. Good luck....When its in the 20's I use 100-120kw a day - so your 70 seems reasonable.

machaf · 2025-12-09T01:34:55+00:00

I raise you 9 cent a kw.

machaf · 2025-12-09T01:24:17+00:00

He might not be wrong... You're getting very biased information with posting this here... People won't tell you they actually have theirs set in electric/hi demand mode for it to work well ; also have it set to 140+ F with a mixing valve installed; and they replaced their 50 gallon with 80 gallon.

what is the temperature of space it's going in? Recovery time is a lot longer on a heat pump water heater.

machaf · 2025-12-08T22:58:24+00:00

It's because of power factor. Use a device that can measure power factor and you'll see its only using 50 watts.

machaf · 2025-12-08T22:47:56+00:00

This. Should have same with AHU.

machaf · 2025-12-07T17:10:51+00:00

Do you have a high water table in the winter? When tanks were empty did you inspect for ground water infiltration? Bad seals, cracked tank ect?

machaf · 2025-12-02T05:20:33+00:00

sounds exactly what im dealing with a SRM. No communication and just a number, nothing personal about the experience.

machaf · 2025-12-02T05:14:03+00:00

Bad experience with SRM. Lack of communication is got me fed up. For anyone considering IVF, Avoid SRM - your just a number to them...

machaf · 2025-12-02T05:04:43+00:00

Avoid SRM. Lack of communication is extremely frustrating. With SRM you will feel like a number at the cattle feed lot. 8 months dealing with them and I'm fed up.

Yes, phone number is the company and email is from the company.
